How long till Notifed gets the axe?
Notified, primarily the PR side, clearly isn’t doing so hot. Nobody Is buying and the competitors are just all around destroying us. Things aren’t looking good.
My mistake is that I stayed too long
It would have been better for me if I had left this place much earlier. Now I'm starting to feel that I wasted my time here, and maybe I could have made a much better career somewhere else. So, what would be the best advice for those who have just... — read more

CFO resigning now after five years. I guess better to jump ship so don’t get blamed for Intrado issues
Put my notice last week
I have put my notice last week and my supervisor was stupid enough to act surprised and also say "You should have given the heads up". Not sure to laugh or cry..!
The worst thing you have to deal with?
There are many things to complain about. However, the worst thing for me is when an issue comes up and I know in advance that I cannot expect support from my superior. I am fortunate that there are still some very good colleagues here and it is... — read more

Chodor out as Notified president?

A miserable feeling
Some say that the job market is excellent, but my experience with looking for a new job does not confirm that. I feel stuck here. I have been looking for a better job for almost five months. How much effort did you put in until you found a better... — read more
Where did all the women go at L&S?
Is it just me? What has happened to the demographic - not only at C-level/execs but what about the ancillary and support organizations? When is the last time they hired a woman for a leadership position? Token diversity groups do not change the... — read more
Notified media monitoring
Notified has stopped selling human curated media monitoring services and uncertain about the future plans! Does it look like plan to shutdown?
Things are changing but Intrado is not gone
Everything but Life and Safety (the original Intrado that West bought), and Mosaic is or has been being sold off. What is left IS Intrado. This is how Apollo operates, they buy up companies, reorg then sells in pieces. That is always what they do... — read more

Weak leadership
I have no other word to describe people who'll only promote yes-men and yes-women and blacklist or push out anybody who dares go against the grain - even if it's in the better interest of the company. Unless you're willing to kiss the right behinds... — read more
Closing 2022 Not 2023
Meeting this morning with upper management and Apollo talking about closing before end of the year now.
I'm tired of constant uncertainty
Nobody should have to worry about having a job every day and we have been in this position for over a year. I think I've worried myself into a complete U-turn and now I'm hoping to be laid off just to get out of this mess. Before somebody comments on... — read more
More and more people are mentioning bankruptcy
I personally don't believe this will happen, but I'm a little anxious when I hear about bankruptcy. Why do I hear more and more people mention it as if it is very likely to happen? How close is the company to bankruptcy, what do you think?

No more contract renewals for Intrado Enterprise Collaboration or IP so this means they are shutting down the business. This company will not be here at year end
Notified Layoffs
So Notified let go 6-7% of its workforce. That’s fun…
